Somebody explained the differences between the common varieties of Mexican food that are made with a tortilla to me this way: If you wrap it, it's a burrito. If you put stuff on it, it's an enchilada. If you fold it, it's a taco. If you leave it flat and put stuff on top of it, it's a tostada. And if it's self serve, it's a fajita. Of course, there are many more varieties of Mexican food such as refritos, rellenos and carne asada.
order taco belll and say u made it
I made an awesome batch of Nachos on Tuesday... Really easy too, but how authentic are Nachos? I am not sure, so a website with recipes is below.



In a large baking dish place a layer of round tortilla chips. Sprinkle on some Mexican cheese and pour on a little salsa. Do this again. Top it off with ground beef (turkey works too) that you have cooked in taco seasoning (follow directions on packet). Sprinkle some more cheese and salsa on and put it under the broiler for a few minutes until the cheese on top is melty and bubbly. I think it was in the over for a total of 6 minutes.
I can't believe how ignorant people are about ethnic food-- especially Mexican. Most of what America thinks of Mexican they got from Taco Bell-- a fast food joint which has made up most ot what they serve from sensationalized Tex-Mex recipes. Tacos, nachos and other things most Mexicans would recognize. Read up on REAL Mexican food...



"When Spanish conquistadores, in other words soldiers, arrived in the Aztec capital Tenochtitlan (the ancient city on which Mexico City was built), they found that the people's diet consisted largely of corn-based dishes with chilies and herbs, usually complemented with beans and tomatoes. The conquistadores eventually combined their imported diet of rice, beef, pork, chicken, wine, garlic and onions with the indigenous foods of pre-Columbian Mexico, including chocolate, maize, tomato, vanilla, avocado, papaya, pineapple, chile pepper, beans, squash, sweet potato, peanut, fish and turkey.

Most of today's Mexican food is based on ancient traditions, such as the Aztecs and Maya, combined with culinary trends introduced by Spanish colonists. Quesadillas, for example, are a flour or corn tortilla with cheese (often a Mexican-style soft farmer's cheese such as Queso Fresco), beef, chicken, pork, and so on. The indigenous part of this and many other traditional foods is the chili pepper. Foods like these tend to be very colorful because of the rich variety of vegetables (among them are the chili peppers, green peppers, chilies, broccoli, cauliflower, and radishes) and meats in Mexican food. The French occupation of Mexico influenced Mexican cuisine with baked goods such as sweet breads and the bolillo (pronounced bo-lee-yo), a Mexican take on the French roll. There is also a minor Filipino influence due to the Manila-Acapulco galleon trade, which lasted from 1565 to 1815.

There are also more exotic dishes, cooked in the Aztec or Mayan style, with ingredients ranging from iguana to rattlesnake, deer, spider monkey, and even some kinds of insects. This is usually known as comida prehisp谩nica (or prehispanic food)."
Back in school our Spanish class didn't allow tacos or burritos because of their popularity. Nachos, you'd be surprised to know, aren't that popular in Mexico...so I wouldn't even reccommend them if you want to be impressive.



Chicken Mole is good, hard to make the right way though....don't buy that canned mole crap you see in stores...that's awful...



If you want something different try Jamoncillo (warning it has pecans) or Champurrado (chocolate atole drink) If you make the Champurrado, make some tamales to go with it. They go together like burgers fries...sort of.
